Same as GS said. Example 1 is flawed as both fighters were holding back.
Don't remember there being anything to remotely suggest example 2, whilst example 3 is based purely on Vegeta's confidence against a heavily suppressed Nail who wasn't considered to be on a completely different tier from the other Namekians prior to showing his full power.

1. It's not only their fight. There are three statements...-Vegeta: It's Ginyu. I wonder whether you can handle him, Kakarrot.
-Vegeta: Kakarrot's and Ginyu's capabilities are practically the same. They might kill each other.
-Krillin: Goku, can you win again?
Goku: I won't know until i try.
Come on, if it wasn't for the scouter statements, everybody would believe Base Goku~FP Ginyu.

2. When Freeza transforms into the 3rd form, Goku states ''i might not be able to win, even
when i'm fully healed''. Later, Goku says ''i thought i had reached my limit before'', which
means he hadn't been counting on a zenkai.

3. If scouters readings are taken out, based on both Nail and Vegeta being confident to fight
each other, i'm sure everybody would believe they're close. Same case as everybody believing
Vegeta and Piccolo being close at Mecha Freeza Saga, because they were both confident to
start a fight.
